Well of course it all depends on what the transactions are, but as a rule I'd say probably not. A mod_perl process can consume quite a lot of resources. If you are getting a load of straight requests for image files that need no intervention from Perl then you should probably just let Apache serve them. Under a light load, most of the time it won't really matter if you're using a mod_perl process to do something which could be done by plain Apache, but if the server load goes up it will start to make a difference. If you don't have a plain Apache running to serve the requests then you'll have to use a heavy process for all requests anyway, and when the server gets busy you might start to wish you had more memory... 73, Ged.
